To Roseshell and family, Pastor and you not only touched lives, you both lived in a way that made so many of us feel and experience ,what unconditional love was about. Through the outreach ministry we were in through Angel Food you both were such a blessing and when ever we would have something at our church you would be there if you were asked. I love you both for such great unselfish love and understanding in some critical times in ministry. Pastor is truly missed. We love you.

My family and I are so blessed that we got to share a laugh, show love and reconnect before God called Pastor Smith home. There is no greater blessing then the love of God that's shared between friends. Thank you Pastor Smith for allowing my blended family to be joined in matrimony at Eliud over 5yrs ago. Thank you for sharing the wisdom of Gods Word in such an extraordinary yet simple way. Most importantly we Thank God for giving you to us, because He didn't have to share you at all.
To the Family:
May your tears be of rememberance and may a smile come over your face, to know that God has Pastor Smith comfortable inside His Special Place. May the Glory of the Lord comfort you all in this your hour of need. There's no doubt in my heart that Pastor Smiths expertise was in need. See God has a plan for all of us to read and the last thing I recall Pastor Smith saying is..., "Don't worry about me."
God Bless You All
We Love You...
